Hanging Hearts Cut-Paper Quilt

Blend the honored tradition of quilt-making with brand new technology! Use your Crayola Cutter to create beautiful paper decorations that express your love.

1. Begin your decorative paper quilt by deciding how many squares to use and how big you’d like them. Follow the directions with your Crayola Cutter to cut out these background papers.

2. Next, cut shapes to fit your theme, such as different types and colors of hearts. Decorate some of each design the same so that when you alternate them you have a patchwork pattern.

3. Cut out some shapes and then make smaller shapes inside. Interior cuts are easy with the Cutter! You can cut little designs out of solid pieces and use the leftover pieces as a design on something else! Use peel-off foam dots to stick your pieces together to create fun 3-D effects on each quilt square.

4. Arrange the squares in your quilt pattern. Measure the top edge. Use a section of cardboard roll, strip of cardboard, or dowel stick for a hanger.

5. Cut small holes along the edges. Lace the pieces together and on the hanger with yarn.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Sharp Point— CAUTION: Contains a functional sharp point and should not be used by children under 4 years. Close adult supervision is required and adult assistance may be needed.

Recycled Cardboard Tubes—Use paper towel tubes, gift-wrap tubes, or long cardboard tubes that can be cut to any length. Health professionals caution against using recycled toilet paper tubes for arts & crafts projects because of the potential fecal contamination.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.

Wood—By its nature, wood is rough and may contain splinters or sharp points
